Jason Ward, editor-in-chief of Making Star Wars, shared the news on his site, writing: "I generally shy away from reporting too much on the specifics of the stand-alone spin-off Star Wars films, because we hear so much stuff it can be difficult to know what to take seriously."

But he revealed that a reliable source had told him "a code name for the production is Luminac Industrial Goods".

And he also said: "There's going to be a really interesting situation at Pinewood Studios. The filming will eventually overlap with some of Star Wars: Episode VIII.

"Who are they hearing the film is about? Han Solo.

"They went on to say the word around the current production at Pinewood is that Aaron Paul is looking to be attached to the first Star Wars spin-off film in some fashion."

Star Wars fans have also been given a closer look at the iconic Millennium Falcon starship, courtesy of a pic from Fortune magazine in which Disney CEO Bob Iger is interviewed.
